 Mirror Installation Only Stares at "Interesting People" Published: Oct 23, 08 Comments: 1 Views: 2,047 Chris O’Shea conceived and built this robotic mirror installation along with Random International. The installation of 64 mirrors is called “Audience.” The mirrors follow people around that they find interesting, allowing their target to see their own reflection at all angles. When the mirrors get bored, they go back to chatting and mingling among themselves. When someone else approaches, they stop talking and mingling and go back to staring at the person. Am I the only one who finds these robotic mirror installation really creepy?  When members of the audience occupy the space, the mirrors inquisitively follow someone that they find interesting. Having chosen their subject, they all synchronise and turn their heads towards them. Suddenly that person can see their reflection in all of the mirrors. They will watch this person until they become disinterested, then either seek out another subject or return to their private chatter. The collective behaviour of the objects is beyond the control of the viewer, as it is left entirely to their discretion to let go of their subject.
